Product overview

The Wagner Flexio 590 hand-held paint sprayer may not be up to the task of painting a whole house, but it is perfect for almost any other application, both indoors and out.

The 9-speed turbine is the most powerful in its class, which coupled with a wide range of control settings and two spray nozzles, will give you quick, professional results every time.

One major advantage this sprayer has over competing models is the fact that it can spray un-thinned residential coatings, including oil-based paints, by virtue of the fully adjustable turbine air pump that is three times as powerful as any comparable model.
